Monitor Frequency problem.

Spike88 · 02-16-09, 01:22 AM

I downloaded the XIII demo today and started it up. As soon as I double click the game, my monitor goes black and I get a screen run saying that my monitor does not support the frequency. To actually be able to use my computer again I have to turn it off manually by pressing the power button. Is there anything I can do besides buying a new monitor to get it to work?

You may have to try running in safe mode then going to device manager and uninstall the display driver, when you reboot you will have to reinstall them.

Its just the game running in a frequency my monitor does not support. Everything else works fine. I'm on said computer now playing a different game.

Ah right I getcha, when you run the game all goes black and can't get out unless you reboot! Ok, I'm not sure of this XIII Demo, is this something for SH4? Also what monitor are you running?

I may not be able to help but others will probably like to know.

Its a dell E773c CRT monitor. And actually SH4 works fine with my monitor. Its just the XIII demo.

What resolution are you running the XIII demo at and what refresh rates does the monitor allow at that resolution?

I am not sure, but it sounds like its a game to the 2 part TV movie that ran the last 2 sundays.
